Sean Spooner, a IT and eBusiness student from Corby, is one of the twelve Young Apprentice candidates competing for the title and a cash prize of £25,000 from Lord Sugar to invest in their business venture.

Sean is one of the younger looking candidates, but judging by his background he may well be a force to reckon with on each task.

On entering the competition the eBusiness student said: “When I want to do something or get somewhere I put everything I have into it and, unless it’s a sinking ship, I don’t stop until I get there.”
